Pizza Brava @ Desa Sri Hartamas

Bravo to Pizza Brava for cultivating a loyal following among fans of Italian food in Sri Hartamas; we wish the restaurant would be more adventurous in its wide-ranging menu, but playing it safe hasn't hurt its business.

A reasonable range of wine is available, though other liquor & cocktails are not.

Service is OK but not particularly focused or friendly; on a recent Sunday, we weren't sure whether Pizza Brava's owners were around, but their employees mainly looked like they were rather anxious to close for the night.

On a positive note, Pizza Brava looks very nice, one of Sri Hartamas' more beautiful eateries.

Maybe a list of weekly specials could spark a little more excitement. But all things considered, it's not a bad destination, depending on what customers are looking for.

Ulric: oooh, part of the difference might be that burger junkyard's owners are basically the same people that serve the customers. whereas the service staff at pizza brava appear to be employees. but ya, it's difficult to maintain a friendly service team sometimes =)

Still so many people and they wanted to close for the night? Hmmmm....they're obviously not Foochows. As long as there's money to be made, the Foochows will be there...and they'll stay open till late but lately, I've noticed that times have changed though...unfortunately.

Food looks great. Ooooo...what's with that pix of that poster on the wall? Wink! Wink! LOL!!!!

Suituapui: yeah, there were definite signs that the staff members were keen to call it a day ... not informing customers that the kitchen was taking last orders, and then handing us our bill before we asked for it, heh =) heh, the poster was not very prominently displayed, but it did catch our eye! =)

Chong: yeah, I think the pizza scores a solid-enough B for me. Could be a little more flavorful and the crust was thin and crisp but could be even thinner and crispier. The pasta was probably a B-minus =) I think the bill showed up a little before 11pm =)
